Carbonara is one of those recipes from Italy that is just glorious. It's heavy, it has pork, egg, pepper but unfortunately it has a good amount of cheese. Let's be real here, one of my biggest fears is going to Italy and having to say, I'm gluten and dairy free. How will that even work? But I'm going...there is no doubt about that! So...for now, we switch things up and make it work for us. Here's our take on a carbonara. Italy, can't wait to see you in the future!
